My doctor says I party more than the national average and everyone thinks I'm partying all the time like literally all the time, everyday!  On average I spend about 20-25 hours a week socially.  About the same amount of time as a part time job.  Since I treat my social life like work thats not bad at all in my opinion but for most people that's just humanly impossible.  I'm not sure how much I'll be writing about "outside of the Life" but I did want to point out that I spend about an equal amount of time of reading as I do socializing.  I have to find an edge o

So hows it like in person?  Lets say you work for a corporation that sent you to a conference where the after reception has food doesn't suck and the drinks are free.  In a situation like that some people would argue thats where most of the business is done and some would argue that its just great social fun with people you have a few things in common with.

That is #SDTweetup for you.  Theres a major amount of business going down but equal amounts of fun.  Sponsors are actually companies that you would want to find out more about.   I usually walk away learning something new and with a list of things to look up when I get home.  I've also fell off where I've perched myself into a bush from laughing out loud at someones story.

SDtweetup is definitely an event I won't miss ever.  I've been around since the first one and I plan to be there for the last one.  If it ever stops that is!

Here I am at the last SDTweetup

I'm known for making private events better than any club you've been to.

Overtime I stopped fighting against the preconceived notions people had about me and staged things to boost my notoriety.  I embraced parts of the bad boy archetype that I easily identified with.  I started attracting women who were recently single or want to be single as part of my entourage.  The culmination of going down this road was this summer of nonstop bottle service.

Do I enjoy The Life?  Sure bet I do, otherwise I would have given up every time I've burnt out on the scene or stay settled with my desk job.  Am I more free with my sullied reputation?  In some ways it lets me get into hedonistic things without concern.  I'm not worried about future employers snooping around my Facebook or the people in my inner circle looking down on me for going out all the time.  I like how my professional and personal goals include out doing my own spectacles.

On the other hand I've become "the awesome friend that the rest of your friends find questionable."  This year I've discovered that everyone close to me has at least friend that asks "why would you hang out with that guy?".  While I'm defensible and all, its a little unsettling to know you have to be defended in the first place.  Sometimes I end up winning them over but sometimes I don't get the chance.   I'll always have this problem of friends of friends who buy into the disinformation floating around about me and adding their own second hand accounts into the mix.

While the title of this blog sounds awesome, it really seems like a defense of one of the people of ill reputation like myself.  You've got to decide if you go down this path or not!
